So I had agreed to give a friend a call to walk him through some details of chopping samples on the MPC 5000. Unfortunately, I had been so busy that I never got around to calling him, at least not when we were both in front of our MPC 5000’s. At any rate, this seemed like a much better option. In turn, I figured it would benefit more beat makers as well.
In this tutorial we’ll explore the following (some things briefly and some more in depth)
- navigation
- loading samples
- counting bars
- chopping samples
- program edit
Feel free to drop me a line in the comments below if you have other things you want me to cover in the future.
